I try not to look at arbitrary 82 game seasons as some type of indicator of performance because I think that's how teams make bad long term decisions. They can over pay because of a good arbitrary 82 game sample, and then panic too soon because of a bad 82 game sample.

If I look at the last two seasons:

Coronato: 27 goals and 56 points in 111 NHL games (0.51 P/GP) / 44 points in 43 career AHL games
Zary: 27 goals and 61 points in 117 NHL games (0.52 P/GP) / 100 points in 140 career AHL games

My personal feeling is if you thought that Coronato was a great signing for $6.5M long term then there should be no issue with Zary getting the same $6-$6.5M range.
Are you not accounting for any of the risks from two knee injuries? We haven't seen him play since the second one.
